Chapter 27 Secretly Invited
A giant Christmas tree was placed outside the mansion. Lavanya was looking at it in surprise. She went near it excitedly. “It’s so beautiful.”
Eden wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and said, “It will look more beautiful when you decorate it with me.”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
He ordered the servants to take the Christmas tree inside. She was also about to go inside, but he stopped her holding her hand.”I have one more surprise for you.”
He went near his car, took out a huge box and gave it to her. “Open it.”
She opened the box. It was full of materials like ornaments, snowflakes, bells, a star, and more things for Christmas tree decoration. She picked an ornament and found that their names were written on the ornament. She smiled, looking at it.
They had their evening coffee and started decorating the Christmas tree. Bella also started helping them. It took them lots of time to finish decorating it. The star, which was to be placed on top of the tree, and the ornament with their names were left.
Lavanya held the star in her hand and tried to place it on the top of the tree, but she was too small in front of the giant Christmas tree. She looked at Eden, and he quickly understood what she wanted him to do. He lifted her up in his arms. She tried to place the star on top of the tree but still wasn’t reaching there.
“Lift a little more.” She instructed him.
“As you order, My Queen.” He lifted her more, and she successfully placed the star on top of the tree. Later, they hung the ornament with their names on the tree together, with a smile, and finished decorating it.
Lavanya observed the tree from top to bottom with a smile. “It was my first time decorating a Christmas tree. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.”
She hugged him. He held her in his arms, kissing her forehead. She broke the hug and asked, “Are we not going to invite anyone to the party, or are you planning to celebrate it with me alone?”
He laughed saying, “I wish I could celebrate it alone with you, but if Jaime finds out that I had a Christmas party alone, she will kill me for not inviting her.”
She chuckled, sitting on the sofa, and said, “I want to celebrate it with our friends and family!”
“Our family and friends?”
“What’s yours is mine now. So your family and friends are also my family and friends now. Understood?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Yeah, Of course! You explained it very well. How can I not understand it?” He was trying to suppress his laugh.
She noticed this. “Do you want to laugh at me?”
“No baby, What’s mine is yours, and even I am all yours.” He said and winked at her.
“Stop this, and call Jaime now and our friends. I am excited to celebrate my first Christmas.” She said, looking at the Christmas tree.
He sat beside her and held her hand. “I am also very excited. You know, I am going to celebrate Christmas after fifteen years. You are the reason for all my happiness. Thank you for giving me a chance.” He kissed the back of her hand.
Eden called Edward to invite him to the party with his wife, to which he happily agreed. After Edward, he invited some more special guests. Later, he called Jaime.
She was sitting in the living room with Sarah and Charles. She smiled when she saw Eden’s number flashing on the screen. She answered it. “Hello, Dear Brother.”
“Hello, Princess. How are you?”
“I am good. How are you and Lavanya?” She asked with a smile.
“We both are fine. Okay, so before I forget, I called to invite you to our Christmas party.” He said and she was surprised. “Did I hear you correctly? You’re having a Christmas party?”
“Yes, Why do you sound so surprised about this?” He asked, laughing.
“You’re going to celebrate Christmas after so long. It’s a surprise for me and will be a surprise for everyone who knows you.” She was very excited and surprised. He laughed and said, “Yes, you’re right. I called Edward to invite him, and he was also surprised like you.” “Of course! I still can’t believe it.”
“All credit goes to the love of my life. My dear Lavanya.” He kissed the back of Lavanya’s hand.
“I am very happy for you, Brother.”
“Okay, I have lots of work. You’ve to come and inform mom dad too.” He said and ended the call after saying goodbye.
After the call ended, Sarah asked her, “Why did he call you?”
“Brother called to invite us all to his Christmas party.” She told her the purpose of Eden’s call.
Sarah laughed. “He is celebrating Christmas. Wow! Such a great change in him.”
“It’s all because of Lavanya. She is really perfect for my brother.” Jaime said, smiling.
Suddenly, an idea appeared in Sarah’s mind. She went out of the living room to call someone. She dialed the number, and it got connected soon.
“Hello, Aunt.” A sweet voice of a girl entered her ears.
“Hello! How are you, dear?” Sarah asked, and the girl replied in her sweet voice, “I am fine, Aunt.”
“I called to inform you that Eden is having a Christmas party. I think you should also come.” Sarah said.
“But Aunt, he hasn’t invited me, and I am sure that he will not like my presence at his party.”
“Don’t worry about him!. He is my son, which means It’s our party too. I am inviting you.” She said and thought, “Secretly.” She wanted to say this word but stopped herself.
“Okay, Aunty. I will come. Thanks for the invitation. I will meet you at the party.” The call ended, and Sarah smiled mischievously. “Lavanya, I will show you who is better for Eden? Just wait and watch.”
